Maybe you’ve noticed that a lot of my posts have included lists lately. We can blame the morning sickness and fatigue that comes with the first trimester. (How’s that for a good excuse!)

So I am in my fourth month of pregnancy, 15 weeks along. As many of you may know, we had a scare with our last child. We are asking that people pray for a healthy and happy pregnancy, labor, delivery, and baby.

Thank you for celebrating this joyful news with us and for your prayers!
